When our summit bit calls for both hiking and climbing, we step into the new Ortles Light Mid PTX Boot and get after it in a hurry. Salewa's lightest, technical mountaineering boot boasts Pomoca Alpine Light outsoles for premium mountain traction—plus a heel stabilizer for crampon-compatibility and new Edging plate with targeted stiffness for improved stability and climbing performance—while still weighing in like a featherweight. It's not only made for mountaineering in snow, ice, and mixed terrain with its proprietary Powertex waterproofing and an ankle support system that provides stability and protection from snow, rock, and scree. It's also built for speed with balanced flex and rebound and TPU stitching that adds toughness without adding weight.
